About Norwegian Hound
The Norwegian Hound is a medium-sized, tireless scenthound with a rectangular body, drop ears, and a dense, coarse coat. Bred to hunt hare and fox, giving voice as it follows the trail, it combines a strong hunting drive with a friendly, sociable nature. It is best suited to an owner with an interest in hunting who can provide hunting training, daily exercise, and mental stimulation. Its coat is easy to care for.
